Wow, deja vu...last week I went home at noon Wednesday because of the blizzard here in Colorado. Got to use the W9 to push a little snow after I got it running (2-3 feet on the level, 4-5 drifts on the driveway and road), spent Thursday home (work closed) and Friday got the cars out around noon or so. Even up till Sunday there were roads still getting blown shut because of drifting snow. Well, ground is now turning white again one week later. Calling for up to 18 inches by tomorrow morning, let up, then get bad again tomorrow evening through Saturday...snow snow snow...

I with ya in Franktown Co. Just south of Denver. My neibor was finishing up plowing this morning from the last one. He broke his Yanmar twice in the snow and I got to fix it. Prezeled tie rod and then the cast tie rod mount snaped. My 8N will be the neiborhood hero again. We got 4 fresh inches as of 3:00 PM. I wish the bride would get home. They say up to 30 inches by Saturday. We allready have gotten more snow than last winters total. Hang in there they say it's going to get windy.

Just started sticking in Golden about 2 or so...out home (Keenesburg) we still have 2-4 foot piles of snow along the roads, 6 inches of snow and any wind and it will be drifted in real quick...

It's funny, people think I'm being mean when I call the little imports overgrown lawnmowers...but ask them to do any real work and see what happens? :-)

Ain't that the truth...before last week's storm, we had about 7 3/4 inches of precip for the year...normal is about 14 1/2... Let it snow!
